He continued, "He asked me, 'How do you do that, with the movies? I mean, it’s so believable.' He drilled down to specific questions that fascinated him. It was about, 'How do you sell something?' Like, a scene. 'How do you go and act out a scene so that I get affected emotionally?' He was fascinated by that. 'How do you do this when you do interviews – that you penetrate through it and you then are totally believable?' ”
